Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today's festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.
Festivals of the Dead
Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico, people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with "bones" on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people. It is now a children's festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbours' homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours do not give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them.
Festivals to Honour People
Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan.In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India's independence from Britain.
Harvest Festivals
Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European ountries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and in China, enjoy mooncakes.
Spring Festivals
The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan's Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.

come and eat here-----------------
Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very fustrated. It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast ork, stir-fried vegetabies and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be soid.By now hie restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought f his mutton,beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. “Nothing could be better,” he thoughe. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. “Hello, Lao Li,”he called. “Your usual?”But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if LiChang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.
Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the windoe.
Tired of all that fat? Want it lose weight?
Come inside Yong Hui`s slimming restaurant.
Only slimming foods served here.
Make yoursely thin again!
Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a vary thin lady, came forward. “Welcome,”she said. “My name is Yong Hui. I`ll helpyou lose weight and be fit in tow weeks if you eat here every day.” Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazde at this and especially at the prices. It cose more than a good meal in his restaueant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurride outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lise1 he had better do some research!
At the library Wang peng was surprised to find that his restaurand seved far too much fat and Yong Hui`s far too little. Even though her customers might ger thin after eating Yony Hui`s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving foot to keep them fit. They would become tired very puickly. Wang Peng felt more hopeful as drove back home. Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back. So he wrote:
Want to feel fit and energetic?
Come and eat here! Discounts today!
Our food gives you energy all day!
The competition between the tow restaurants was om!
a sad love story-------------------------
As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way, Li Fang heard his name called. It was Hujin. He didn’t think Hujin would love him any longer. He was so sad. But to his surprise, Hujin went to him with a beautiful flower. Li Fang didn’t know what to say. Would he tell her the truth?
Finally he was honest with her. Hujin know she has made a mistake about the place to meet. Hujin forgive him, they look each other, and laugh.
since then, they know each other more better
